Brushless Exciter Modeling for Small Salient Pole Alternators Using Finite Elements

Comparison of Thyristor-Controlled Rectification Topologies for a Six-Phase Rotating Brushless Permanent Magnet Exciter

“…The model parameters are found using finite element techniques. Earlier, the same approach has been applied for diode exciters [9], [10], where higher order terms of self and mutual inductances are accounted for. This paper shows the possibility to include some higher order terms, but the inductance slot ripple and the saturation effects are neglected.…”
